Incident Media Photographs

Crews gather for morning briefing as work on the Lookout and Bedrock Fires nears completion.

Heavy equipment is used to reduce woody debris to chips which are returned to the landscape as part of suppression repair efforts. 

In a process called "backhaul," crews bring hose and other equipment to the fire camp where it is cleaned and returned to the cache to be ready for the next incident. 

As emergency closures are lifted, it is imperative to remain vigilant and cautious when entering fire-impacted areas. Keep a special watch for hazards such as falling trees and loose debris. 

Firefighters are clearing debris in areas affected by suppression efforts.

It’s hunting season in Oregon, and it is still fire season as well. Hunters may be traveling in areas with moderate to high fire dangers or fire closures from recent or ongoing wildfires. Before you go hunting this season, be sure to check out our Alerts webpage for current closure information. Keep in mind, closures can change depending on fire activity. Please hunt safely and be sure of your target. Remember, you are sharing the woods with other people working and recreating close by!
